Dear all,

I'm currently developing a cancer detection system.
I use digital chest xray images as the input to the system. I extract 6 first order statistic texture features and 4 second order statistic features.

Is that enought to consider these features as the input to train the neural network..?

This is not a MATLAB question.

As Mark points out, this is not a matlab question. Nor can
anybody answer (on any newsgroup or forum) if you will
ever have ENOUGH data. The answer is that "enough" can
only be determined by you, knowing your goals. The more
data that you provide, the better in general will be your
results.

Thank you
but sometimes people can answer by their experience..
And sorry I am new to this newsgroup. I use Mathlab to develop this thatz why I asked that question...

Again, our experience is not even relevant. We cannot
say if you have enough data. You will never know that
you have enough data.

The more data you have, the better your estimates.
